Abstract
A method for providing access management and security protection to a computer service includes providing a computer service that is hosted at one or more servers and is accessible to clients via a first network, providing a second network that includes a plurality of traffic processing nodes and providing means for redirecting network traffic from the first network to the second network. Next, redirecting network traffic targeted to access the computer service via the first network to a traffic processing node of the second network via the means for redirecting network traffic. Next, inspecting and processing the redirected network traffic by the traffic processing node and then routing only redirected network traffic that has been inspected, processed and approved by the traffic processing node to access the computer service via the second network.
